Wow. That's incredible! How much does a restoration like that cost?

well since my bro did every bit of it except for the paint and interior, its not as much as u would think. im not exactly sure how much he has in it but i know its about $60,000 to $70,000.

it had to be appraised to get insurance on it and it was appraised for $185,000 haha not a bad profit IMO
